License to Wed is a heartwarming romantic comedy film from 2007 that stars Mandy Moore as Sadie Jones, John Krasinski as Ben Murphy, and the late Robin Williams as Reverend Frank. The movie follows the story of a young couple, Sadie and Ben, who are deeply in love and looking forward to getting married. However, when they visit the church where they plan to wed, they come to realize that they must first pass a marriage preparation course administered by Reverend Frank.

Reverend Frank is a quirky, unconventional, and overbearing minister who believes that couples should undergo rigorous training before they tie the knot to increase their chances of having a successful marriage. He uses a range of unconventional and bizarre tests and exercises to put the couple through their paces, including simulating a crying baby, forcing them to discuss their sexual preferences, and having them perform a choreographed dance.

As Sadie and Ben progress through the course, tensions rise, and they begin to question whether they are truly meant to be together. Reverend Frank's unorthodox methods make the couple's relationship more complicated, and they begin to unravel under the mounting pressure. However, they eventually realize that they need to face their fears and resolve their issues if they want to be together.

Meanwhile, Reverend Frank is dealing with his own problems—a recent divorce and a crisis of faith that he is struggling to overcome. He takes on Sadie and Ben's case as a way to prove to himself that he can still make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

Mandy Moore does an exceptional job portraying Sadie, a personable, religious young woman who is deeply in love but struggling to balance her faith with her feelings for Ben. John Krasinski is equally remarkable as Ben, a mild-mannered, down-to-earth salesman who is in love with Sadie but unsure of whether he has what it takes to be a good husband.

Robin Williams's performance as Reverend Frank is one of the highlights of the film. He is quirky, eccentric, and hilarious, but there is also an underlying sadness to the character that makes him highly relatable. Williams brings a depth and pathos that is rare in romantic comedies, and his performance elevates this film above the average rom-com fare.

License to Wed is a light-hearted and entertaining movie that explores important themes such as love, commitment, faith, and the importance of communication in a relationship. It is a charming and uplifting romantic comedy that will leave you feeling good about life and love. Despite some of its predictable plot points, it is a highly enjoyable movie that is perfect for a cozy night in.

License to Wed is a 2007 comedy with a runtime of 1 minute. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.2 and a MetaScore of 25.
